[Rebirth] Uncle is above, don't care

A few days passed like this, Shen Chengjing's birthday finally arrived, the palace was very lively early in the morning, decorated with lanterns and festoons, guests flocked in an endless stream, all the maids and servants were busy in the front yard, Shen Yinhao and Shen Yinbei were busy For the evening banquet, only Shen Chengqi was ordered to stay in Yingyuan and was not allowed to go out. He had nothing to do. After waking up, he ate a bowl of shrimp meat and then lazily lay down on the rocking chair and went back to sleep.

This sleep went straight into the night, if it wasn't for Yiyi Yaya's singing that woke him up, he probably could have slept until the next morning.

Shen Chengqi yawned, stretched his waist, and was about to ask Shitou to make him a cup of tea, but he remembered that in the morning, the people in the front yard said there was not enough manpower, so they called away all the servants in Yingyuan. At that time, the birthday banquet hadn't started yet, and Shi Shi probably wouldn't be back for a while.

Well, let's do it ourselves.

Shen Chengxi poured a few sips of the cold water from the teapot into his mouth, opened the window and looked out, the yard was deserted and dark, but the front yard not far away was brightly lit. The troupe beat gongs and drums, accompanied by applause from the audience, and it was very lively.

The drama addiction surged up in his heart again, he hadn't heard a drama since he was reborn, and he couldn't hold back when he was suddenly hooked.

Anyway, everyone in the palace is busy with the birthday banquet now, no one will care about him, a good-for-nothing, why not just... sneak over to listen to it?

Once this thought came into his head, he felt even more distressed. His rationality told him that at this time, if he provoked Shen Chengjing, his previous painstaking efforts would be in vain, but when he thought about it again, he felt very unwilling. As long as you don't bump into those people in the palace, what is there to worry about?

He thought and thought, and finally gave it up. He took out the guard uniform from the cupboard and put it on when he escaped last time. He didn't believe that he could be so unlucky that he would get into trouble even if he went out to listen to a play.

Walking smoothly all the way to the front yard, Shen Chengqi chose a place far away from the front hall, and poked inside, just in time to see a scene of Yan Shuangfei on the grandstand in the middle of the gate.

Around the stand were the officials who came to celebrate the birthday. They were drinking fine wine and changing cups. Not far away, Shen Chengjing sat on the upper seat, smiling until the wrinkles around his eyes piled up. It was obvious that he was in a good mood. Shen Yinhao sat Beside him, a handsome blue dress set off his greasy face, while Song Qiaodie was dressed in jewels, extremely wealthy, her beautiful eyes stared straight at the person on the stage, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Shen Chengqi followed her gaze to look at the stands, just in time to see a glamorous Danjiao, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, wearing a luxurious scarlet costume, and his gestures are full of drama.

"The cuckoos are singing red all over the green hills, the shreds of tobacco outside the tea mushrooms are drunk and soft, the fragrance of spring, although the peonies are good, how can they be the first to return in spring, and they are in pairs..."

"it is good!"

As soon as the clear voice came out, everyone kept singing well, and the drum beats became denser again. Song Qiaodie on the stand could not take her eyes off her eyes, and she tapped the time with her well-maintained fingers on the table, with a smile on her face. charming smile.

"Well, this is He Xiaolou."

Suddenly a warm voice blew past Shen Chengqi's ears, he turned his head suddenly in shock, just in time to see Shen Yinbei's smiling face.

"Huh... People are scary, okay?" Shen Chengqi patted his chest, almost thinking that he was caught by someone sent by Shen Lao Er.

Shen Yinbei curled his mouth, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Tsk tsk, can you be scared if you're not guilty? Brother, it's really funny that you dress like this."

He looked Shen Chengqi up and down, his gray eyes swept over his dark blue bodyguard uniform, and touched the tip of his nose maliciously.

Seeing his expression, Shen Chengqi knew what he was thinking, couldn't help but rolled his eyelids, and changed the subject rationally, "You just said that the singer who sings the female role is He Xiaolou whom Song Qiaodie likes?"

Shen Yinbei nodded and said: "A famous actor in the capital, known as Fu Rong Ji, how many high-ranking officials and nobles have spent a lot of money on him, look at this appearance, he is really not inferior to a woman."

"Tsk tsk, I see you are beautiful." Shen Chengqi raised his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.

"What, are you jealous?"

Shen Chengqi glanced at him, but regretfully said: "No, no, I'm thinking that such a beautiful person is somewhat uncomfortable for you to think about, if it's not like this, I really want to marry back."

"You dare." Shen Yinbei pinched his waist with a half-smile.

The two were laughing and laughing, He Xiaolou had finished singing, Shi Shiran retreated, at this moment, Shen Chengqi raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw that Song Qiaodie's eyes were still following He Xiaolou's Lou Zhuan, waved to the servants beside him, whispered a few words, not sure what he was thinking.

"I remember that the birthday banquet was arranged by you, so you specially invited He Xiaolou here?" Shen Chengqi narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him meaningfully and said.

"Of course not, I am the only one who has the final say on this show." Shen Yinbei shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression on his face, "Song Qiaodie brought up the matter of He Xiaolou with his father, saying that famous actors can be popular, Birthdays are all about this.”

Shen Yinbei's words seem to be mixed with water, half-truth and half-false, Shen Chengqi definitely doesn't believe it completely, "Song Qiaodie likes He Xiaolou I got it from Shen Yinhao last time, since you know this level I don't believe you didn't do something behind your back."

"This is really wronged. Is this the image I have in your heart?" Shen Yinbei couldn't stop laughing, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he lowered his head to Shen Chengqi's ear and whispered: "Of course I wouldn't choose such a stupid method, At most, spread the news that He Xiaolou sang a new excerpt, as for whether Song Qiaodie is tempted or not... Heh, I can't control this."

It's a good one to invite you into the urn.

Shen Chengqi knew that He Xiaolou would not appear here for no reason, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Shen Yinbei sold in the gourd, "What are you going to do? Be careful not to cause trouble."

"Don't worry, I have the numbers."

"What's the number?"

A deep and deep voice suddenly came from behind, and the two of them shivered in fright. Be good, if someone hears what you said just now, it will be a big trouble!

When the two turned their heads, they saw a moon-white brocade robe, and when they looked up, they were so shocked that their legs went limp.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty?! Your Majesty Shen Yinbei pays respects to the Emperor." Shen Yinbei hurriedly knelt down, but Shen Chengqi was bewildered by this sudden turn of events, and was stunned for a while, only to be pulled by Shen Yinbei before kneeling down. on the ground.

Shen Chenghui, the current emperor, is 56 years old, but he is still in good health, with a ruddy complexion, even if he wears plain clothes in time, he can't conceal his aura.And behind him are the old eunuch in charge and Li Yongkang in casual clothes.

"Hehe, get up, today I'm here to join in the fun, don't be restrained." The emperor said with a smile.

Shen Yinbei hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully: "It's my negligence, I didn't expect His Majesty to come in person, it's really a big neglect, I'm going to tell my father right away."

"Hey, come on, I didn't know you guys sneaked in with Li Aiqing, just because I didn't want my second son, the birthday old man, to make a big fuss for me."

Shen Chenghui waved his hand, and his eyes just fell on Shen Chengqi. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be a child who made a mistake and was caught by his parents. He somehow felt a little familiar, and he became even more curious about this little guard.

This was the first servant who saw him dare to look up, which was interesting.

"Yin Bei, is this your bodyguard?" Shen Chengqi pointed to Shen Chengqi and said.

"...This..." Shen Yinbei was suddenly at a loss for words, how could he explain Shen Chengqi's situation?To tell the truth is definitely not possible, but if you can't keep it after pulling the pretense, you will become a bully.

"Why, can't you say it? I just noticed that you two were whispering. Could it be something else?"

Shen Chengqi couldn't help but sighed in his heart, brother, why are you still the same as before, can you put away the smirk at the corner of your mouth before listening to gossip?

"What does your majesty mean by the other relationship? The slave follows the master, and his head is not bright. I beg your majesty to help me." Shen Chengqi said lightly, with some playfulness in his heart. When he was a child, he liked to fight against his elder brother. Every time he wanted to bully It's the funniest thing to see yourself deflated in the end.

After hearing this, the veins on Shen Yinbei's forehead twitched vigorously, wishing he could cover Shen Chengqi's mouth and hide him in his sleeves now.

Brother... Even if you are meeting the emperor for the first time, you should at least show a little sincerity and sincerity. If you lose your head with such nonsense, I can't keep you.

Shen Chenghui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst out laughing, "The only one who has dared to choke on my words for so many years is the sixth brother, and now you, a little guard, dare to speak wildly, I am not afraid that I will want your head."

"I'm afraid, I'm very scared, but I ask Your Majesty to give you a day's grace. Today's prince's birthday should not be popular."

Shen Chenghui raised the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows, thinking that this little guard could handle him with ease, and the most important thing is that he didn't forget to protect his master before he died, which is really interesting.

"Haha, that's fine, I'm not that cruel, just cut off people's heads casually." Shen Chenghui smiled and patted Shen Yinbei's shoulder, "You are a good little guard, remember to bring me with you when you enter the palace to have some fun. "

At this time, Shen Yinbei was already in a cold sweat from being frightened by Shen Chengqi's bold behavior. He felt very lucky to hear that the emperor was not angry, and quickly responded, "I obey the order, thank you for your grace."

Shen Chenghui nodded, watching the play in the distance was almost over, and said to Shen Yinbei who was kneeling on the ground, "I'm going to celebrate your father's birthday, you take this little guard with you."

As he spoke, he walked slowly towards the front hall waving his fan, leaving behind Shen Yinbei and Shen Chengqi who had made a false alarm.

***

The birthday banquet, which was originally extremely grand, became even more lively because of the sudden arrival of the emperor.Shen Chengjing never expected that the emperor would condescend to congratulate him on his birthday, his brows were brimming with joy, and his face was full of wind, wishing all the officials knew how favored he was in front of the current emperor.

Song Qiaodie, who is a princess, is even more arrogant at this time. If it weren't for the emperor and his ministers discussing important matters, she had to leave the stage as a female family member. At this time, her chin would almost stick to the sky.Like the emperor and Shen Laoer greeted tenderly, Shi Shiran retreated from the table with small steps.

After Shen Chenghui sat down at the table, he saw that all the ministers under the table felt uncomfortable, so he couldn't help joking: "Today I'm here to celebrate my younger brother's birthday, not to listen to your performance. Don't be so nervous, just do what you want."

"Your Majesty is here in person. It's a great honor for me. My lifetime is really... enough!" Shen Chengjing pretended to kneel on the ground and kowtowed to thank him. He burst into tears as he spoke.

Shen Chenghui waved his hand, "Second brother, why do you and my brother say such false words, I am very pleased to see this old man talking about being a teenager today, and having two outstanding sons under his knees."

Mentioning his son, Shen Chengjing regained his energy and raised his hand to ask Shen Yinhao to come face the saint, but he raised his head and swept to Shen Chengqi who was standing beside Shen Yinbei, his face immediately changed, "You...!"

Seeing that his face was pale, Shen Chenghui followed his gaze and found nothing unusual, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

"No...no, my brother is fine." Shen Chengjing cast a cold glance at Shen Chengqi, then put on a smile in the blink of an eye, "Your Majesty praised you, the dog is only mediocre, not worth mentioning."

"Oh, brother, your heart is too big. Each of these two children is a talented person, and they are better than my emperor's son. Are you not satisfied?" Shen Chenghui smiled heartily, and waved to Shen Yinhao and Shen Yinbei, "You guys Come two."

Shen Yinhao and Shen Yinbei looked at each other, the former was full of disdain for his seriousness, and walked forward arrogantly, Shen Yinbei raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, and followed with a half-smile.

"I greet Long Live, Long Live, Long Live, Long Live, Long Live."

"Get up." Shen Chenghui waved his hand, turned his head and said to Shen Chengjing with a smile, "Second brother, you don't have to be humble anymore. Now that everyone is present, I will test them and convince you to lose, how about it?"

At this point, Shen Chengjing could no longer refuse, so he could only agree with a smile.

All the ministers were already curious about the candidate for the next King Duankang, and now they had the opportunity to watch the live game between the two children, and they were all excited for a while, and everyone was looking forward to it.

Shen Chengqi stood aside, the corners of his mouth curled up thoughtfully, and he had his own plan in mind.

Now that he is alone and weak, he can't bring down Shen Lao Er by himself alone, so he has to rely on other forces.

And since I have been with my elder brother since I was a child, I know his temperament best, this game may... be an excellent opportunity to attract the attention of my elder brother!
